Great image for Peter, and really a powerful image as well, very spooky cloud mass there!

Thanks Cory - I do think on reflection there is too much noise. My laptop where I tend to do my processing tends not to make the noise so noticeable or perhaps it is the bottle of wine I have consumed whilst processing:)

I think adding more noise may have been a wise move to make it look less like it was not meant to be there. It was a wild night and unfortunately I was in a tent:)

Well spotted. Probably my favourite Topaz Adjust preset. I really must purchase the Nik software and try and expand my processing:)

Btw congrats on the super result for you.

Thanks Cory - unfortunately the other voters didn't share your thoughts:)
